Jennings picks up council endorsement

Watertown City Council candidate Stephen A. Jennings has been endorsed by a former opponent.

Rodney J. LaFave, who ran an unsuccessful primary campaign, announced Tuesday that he is supporting Mr. Jennings in the Nov. 5 election.

Mr. LaFave pointed to Mr. Jenningss more than 18 years of professional government experience and active service in the community.

Steve demonstrates the class, professionalism and integrity the residents of Watertown deserve in a council member. Additionally, he possesses the knowledge, experience and motivation required to improve and sustain the capacities of our economy, neighborhoods and all people, Mr. LaFave wrote in a press release.

He also said he likes Mr. Jenningss proposals to improve blighted neighborhoods. Mr. Jennings has come out in support of Mr. LaFaves proposal for a city rental inspection program.

Mr. Jennings faces incumbents Teresa R. Macaluso and Jeffrey M. Smith and newcomer Cody J. Horbacz in the race for two seats on the council.
